[I Like You]

Sakayanagi Arisu couldn't help but bite her lower lip.

Bullying someone.

This is absolutely outrageous.

If you've got the guts, fight me head-on! What's the point of sending a PE student to mess things up?

They also prematurely revealed the exam rules, making a mess of what could have been a normal exam.

Who told you to raid the outposts! Who told you to play that coloring game!

Why don't you just stick to playing survival games and be honest with it?

"Gurgle..."

The Little Princess made a soft, guttural sound.

The Little Princess tossed and turned, and in the end, all she could do was clutch the bedsheet and pout her red lips.

Ryuen Kakeru finally received the news he had been waiting for.

"Let's go! Ryuen, let's go!"

With an incredibly joyful and cheerful voice, Ishizaki Daichi rushed back to the class camp, raising his hand and shouting.

"Calm down, don't make a fuss." Although he suddenly opened his eyes and couldn't help but show joy on his face, Ryuen Kakeru still maintained a certain composure in his words: "Of course I know they're leaving."

"But have you kept a close eye on things?"

"Is the headcount correct? None of them should still be on the island, right?"

"That shorty Sakayanagi Arisu is back on the ship. There should be thirty-nine people in Class B, plus the class advisor, making forty in total. Don't you dare miscount!"

It's likely that Class B was successfully reported, and only if their exam qualifications are revoked will they be able to return to the ship together.

But Ryuen Kakeru was still a little worried. What if someone was still on the island? Wouldn't it be ridiculous if he dragged his classmates to quit the exam together?

Therefore, he insisted that Ishizaki Daichi confirm it.

"I guarantee it!" Ishizaki Daichi patted his chest and assured them, "I didn't dare blink an eye, just in case I made a mistake in the count. I watched them return to the ship one by one."

"Besides, their camp has been dismantled. The school packed up all their stuff and took it back with them. How could they possibly have left anyone behind?"

At this point, Ishizaki Daichi paused slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then looked up to ask the question that had been bothering him for a while.

"So, Ryuen, are we really going to withdraw from the exam?"

As if afraid his question would be misinterpreted as an interrogation, before Ryuen Kakeru could speak, he quickly added, "Well, anyway, Class B has already withdrawn from the exam, and Class D and Class B have both withdrawn, so there's no need for us to end the exam early..."

"The school said they would give us an explanation after the exam. If we withdraw from the exam, doesn't that mean all the hard work we put in over the past two days was for nothing?"

"And they even spent money to buy so many supplies from Class D..." he muttered as he added.

Hearing Ishizaki Daichi mention the supplies, Ryuen Kakeru felt a pang of heartache.

Damn it, I shouldn't have bought it!

Even so, he kicked Ishizaki hard. "Don't point fingers at me."

"When I say I'm quitting, that means I'm quitting."

"Now, it's time to go find Sakagami." He stood up, grinning. "The Little Princess has left; now it's time to take down the school."

Ryuen Kakeru had only taken a few steps when he stopped.

"Oh right, I almost forgot." He turned his head and ordered, "Go find Asakusa for me..."

He paused, as if remembering something, and then changed his words:

"No, you shouldn't go. Go and tell Shiina to go to Class A and inform Asakusa."

"Also, have Ibuki go with her. Tell her we're leaving and that she should do what she's supposed to do."

The reason for letting Shiina Hiyori stay in the past is simple: to get more screen time.

If Shiina Hiyori successfully gets under Asakusa Toru, it will be much more advantageous for her in future exams, regardless of whether she cooperates with him or not.

As for whether they would betray Class C if they actually started dating?

Ryuen Kakeru thought it was unlikely; Shiina Hiyori wasn't that kind of person, she was very good at separating public and private matters.

On the contrary, Asakusa Toru is the type who is obviously bursting with selfishness. As long as Shiina Hiyori is in their Class C, that guy's movements will be restricted every day.

The reason for having Ibuki Mio go with them is quite simple.

Shiina's physical condition is poor, and it's not safe for him to go alone. Just in case, Ibuki accompany him, and then everything will be fine.

"Huh? Ah, ah!"

Confused, stunned, then responding.

Ishizaki Daichi responded loudly, then looked around before jogging away after finding his target.

Without looking back at anyone else, he went straight to Sakagami Kazuma Ryuen Kakeru, looked down at his homeroom teacher who was resting there, and smiled.

The face of Sakagami Kazuma last night flashed before his eyes.

Ryuen Kakeru didn't hold any grudges against his homeroom teacher. In fact, he had already treated them very well, even turning a blind eye to things they brought down.

But he just wanted to ask him a question at that moment.

Now, you can tell me if harboring resentment can solve the problem.

"What is it, Ryuen?"

Unfortunately, he didn't say what was in his heart in the end. When faced with Sakagami Kazuma, Ryuen Kakeru simply said:

"Tell the school that First-Year Class C, is withdrawing from the Uninhabited Island Exam."

Chapter 222 [I Like You]

On the watchtower.

Asakusa Toru is playing on his phone.

To be precise, it's a mobile phone called Personal Terminal.

At this time, he should have gone fishing and used his superb fishing skills to collect points for his classmates to save on buying meals.

But he is now free.

For now, we can use the existing supplies to deal with the situation, and wait for Ryuen to leave.

After all, he had personally witnessed Class B returning to the cruise ship one by one.

The view from the observation tower is nice, especially the cruise ships on the coast. Although you can't see very clearly in the distance, it's enough to see the general view.

Occasionally glancing up at the cruise ship and checking his terminal a couple more times, Asakusa Toru is now just waiting for Ryuen to leave so he can finish this Special Exam early.

As Personal Terminal awarded as a reward for his Diary, Asakusa Toru could choose whether or not to enable location services, and the school would naturally not know that he possessed such a terminal.

Moreover, as a reward, he can store the terminal in his Diary at any time and retrieve it whenever he needs it.

That way, even if you're really stranded on a desert island, you won't panic at all.

But speaking of which...

This terminal is likely registered under the name of Class B.

He suddenly became curious about how the school would handle the exam results for this extra Student Council.

Never mind, it's not important.

It's not like there really is such a person; the school will probably just treat it as a bug.

"Asakusa-- "

Suddenly, just as he was getting a little bored, a sound finally came from below the watchtower.

Someone is looking for you--

After leaping down from the tower in a few quick movements, Asakusa Toru saw the two girls brought by the classmate who had delivered the message.

Shiina Hiyori Ibuki Mio who followed along reluctantly, grumbling as she went.

"Good news? Or bad news?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It's good news." Shiina Hiyori her hands together. "We've decided to withdraw from the exam."

"In that case, the only winner on the Uninhabited Island is you, Asakusa- kun."

With a slight pout, Ibuki Mio muttered to herself:

You must be very happy.

"Even if we didn't do that, I would still win." Asakusa Toru casually retorted to Ibuki Mio, "But you two only came here to talk about this?"

Upon hearing this, Ibuki Mio chuckled, "What else?"

"Of course it's just a message. If it weren't for the fact that terminals aren't allowed on this island, I wouldn't even bother coming here to deliver this message to you."

She inexplicably displayed her hostility towards Asakusa Toru.

... Well, it shouldn't be entirely without reason.

"Then you can go." Asakusa Toru waved his hand as if shooing away a fly.

But this only made Ibuki Mio unable to stand it.

"Huh?" Her eyes widened instantly. "You think I wanted to see you?!"

With her hands pressed against her slender waist, her back straight and slightly leaning forward, Ibuki Mio's face was fierce.

Nobody said that.

"Asakusa Toru!"

Ibuki Mio exhaled.

But Asakusa Toru really couldn't be bothered with her.

Shiina Hiyori came to deliver a message, but it's likely that she did more than just do so.

Otherwise, she wouldn't still be smiling as she watches Ibuki Mio exhale.

"What else are you planning to do?" Asakusa Toru casually asked, raising his camera with one hand and pressing the shutter on Ibuki's breath.

"Are you taking pictures?!"

"Yes, I'd like to invite you to be my photographer."

Ibuki Mio's incredulous voice rang out, followed by Shiina Hiyori's calm reply.

She mentioned the photographer.

To be honest, Asakusa Toru has a very subtle feeling about the word 'photographer'.

Because those three words easily reminded him of a distant, wealthy young lady.

"Eh, now?"

However, he didn't think too much about it.

"It will probably take a little while." Shiina Hiyori smiled. "There are still quite a few points in the class account, and Ryuen plans to spend them first so everyone can have a proper vacation."

"I'd also like to... try on a swimsuit a little."

The girl spoke seemingly calmly, but her small hand quietly grasped a strand of hair that was framing her face.

You could still sense a hint of nervousness in her expression through the details.

"OK."

Very readily, Asakusa Toru nodded in agreement.

"Ah?"

"I said, 'I've agreed to the photographer job.'"

"However..." The moment after accepting that, a turning point was about to arrive.

Asakusa Toru smiled. "I'm a private photographer."
